What you CAN NOT KNOW from the calculated distribution is which specific components in the suspension have experienced a change in stress and strain. Therefore, making assertions or forming conclusions about unmeasured parts of the system is CONJECTURE
Conjecture is the word. Stress and strain are measured with other devices:
